Kasiano's try-saving tackle for samoa against tonga (in 2016 or 2015?) was one of the best defensive efforts I've ever seen from a prop. If we can get him playing with the same passion for the purple jumper then he'll be a fantastic pickup for us.

Just gotta get all the stupid plays out of his game first. Like that penalty he gave away last night where he punched the ball out as easy to see as anything right in front of the refs

Quite fitting George Rose has been brought up again... Kasiano might be even dumber and lazier.

who isn't dumb and lazy at the bullchokes ??

If he came to Melbourne...I'd be confident of Craig getting the best out of him.

It's not like George Rose...he'd been let go and was looking for a life line.

Kasiano is 26, looking for a starting role in the front row and would presumably only make the move if he is committed to getting the best out of himself.

After all..Storm preseasons would be well known by the rest of the competition.

There isn't a single human being on the planet who falls into that category.

Word getting stronger that Chambers has done a deal with the Roosters.

Surely the roosters couldn't possibly afford him. They just signed Tedesco. I know they've got a few off-contract but surely not enough

If true can only be going for the money. Oh wait, he's got some family he wants to be close to...

We need Kassiano and a solid Glasby mould prop too. We are light on depth in the pack and it showed yesterday. The depth players at front row do t look good enough and Bellamy doesn't trust them to play long enough minutes . We played with 15 and a half men yesterday!

I would worry about Kassianos brain farts too but he would bring some needed X factor too.

Then we also need a Harris replacement - team looked so much better with him back in it

Patrick Kaufusi a option? Antonio did say he's the better of the brothers and we all know how well Felise has played this year.
Adam Elliott would be a decent Harris replacement but I think Stimson will be ready for the increased workload too!

I've got huge (probably unfounded) wraps on Stimson. Would love to see him as the new Tohu.

2018 team no McLean, Harris, Cronk, Chambers and now Slater is thinking about going. We are going to have no players, but we will have heaps of money in the salary cap.

There are hardly any, if any top tier free agents left so I'm not sure if having space left is a good thing.

Unless Frank and Craig have plans in place that we don't know about of course.....
